I’ve attempted to write a FAQ a few times but they’ve always ended up not helpful or helpful but depressing. But due to a recent spike in questions I’ve decided to just go for it.
Besides this post, the FAQ also got it’s own permanent page.
Is Guy and Wayne a couple?
- No they’re just friends, if that’s a word you can use to describe their relationship. Frenemies?
Do Frank, Guy and Wayne live together, like are they roommates?
- This is unclear even to me, If a joke requires them to be roommates, then that’s what they are.
What’s Guy’s real name?
- I’m not sure, I haven’t asked.
Hello, I’m a writer and I need someone to draw a comic, I can’t pay right now, (maybe later if the comic sells) but It’ll be good practice and great exposure for you! are you interested?
- No, I got my own stories I would like to tell if I ever got the time. Also those reasons aren’t real.
Do you have any tips on how to start a webcomic?
- Just start it.
No, Really.
I don’t know how to make a website for my comic, can you help?
- Neither did I but then I Googled “comicpress” you should too.
How do you become a professional artist?
- By having people pay you to do art. You can be a professional artist at any skill level, as long as you make a living out of your craft, you’re by definition a “professional artist”.
Of course, the more skilled you are, the bigger the chance of someone paying you. but you need to market yourself, very few artist just gets “found”.
How long have you been drawing?
- I started for real around 2003, then around 2006 I decided it’s what I’d like to do with my life.
Do you exhibit at any conventions?
- I’d like to, I attended San Diego Comic Con in 2011, but I’ve yet to exhibit at any convention. Living in Sweden makes the logistics and expenses very overwhelming.
Some day!
How did you come up with Twogag?
- It kinda just evolved from a vacuum. I only knew what I didn’t want in the comic. I didn’t want Twogag to rely on pop culture references, I didn’t want any self insertion characters and I didn’t want it to be about videogames.
How do I become an artist?
- Draw.
How do I become a writer?
- Write.
I’d like to become better at drawing, got any tips?
- Everybody says this, but it’s the only way, man. Just draw, draw, draw, draw. Sacrifice your gaming, friend and movie time and draw some more.
But something every aspiring artist should ask themselves is; “do I actually like to draw, or do I just like the idea of drawing?”
I want to become a professional webcartoonist, got any tips?
- Love drawing, hate money.
If you meet the above criteria and do create a webcomic, market it. Don’t just post your pages or strips and expect readers to find it.
Do you write your comics beforehand or just free-ball it?
- I generally start out with a vague idea or concept and develop it either in my head or as I write it.
It’s a good idea to remove yourself from distractions such as the internet while doing this. I used to browse sites a lot with the excuse “I’m looking for inspiration.” but that has yet to work.
What software do you use?
- Adobe Photoshop.
What version of Photoshop do you use?
- It doesn’t matter.
What’s the best question you’ve been asked?
- This one.
Will you ever make a FAQ?
- I have a feeling the frequency of this question will subside, but yes.
Must’ve been a handsome ransom.
she collected the money, then she ran some. ah, puns.
Gotta love your autumn kidnapping :)
You know I was expecting a “I stole it” ending, but nope. Apparently I wasn’t thinking dark enough.
took me a while, but oh god…
Saaay, is that a reference to Craig Ferguson in the middle panel?
“That sounded dirty…”
*obligatory Guy Is Hot In Her New Jacket comment*
*obviously Guy is Hot in every Jacket*
Think she’ll do the same thing to get a matching pair of boots.
*Obligatory proposition to Guy after seeing her in her new jacket*
Spent a minute or so wondering what a “Break baby” was. This might be good time for an extra comma.
It’s never a good time for a comma that doesn’t make sense. The real problem is the space between ‘baby’ and ‘sitting’, which should not exist.
Unless she was using the baby as her seat cushion or foot stool.
I think I may have a bit of brain damage after this one…
Oh my gosh Wayne’s face in the second panel.
Even when Guy smiles she’s angry. Look at her eyebrows and you can see the truth of how she’s feeling.
I don’t get it. Someone please explain to moi!
She kidnapped some rich guy’s kid, apparently.
Actually, I think she watched the kid for the kidnappers. She baby-sat for the kidnappers, not the parents.
or she baby-sat for some robbers..,…
Is it supposed to be like leons leather jacket they released for the one resident evil 6 collectors edition
Oh god… You’re right… That IS Leon’s jacket with different colors.
Nah, I’m convinced that she really was only babysitting, except, she was baby sitting for the kidnappers. (i.e. she was helping the kidnappers babysit)
Let’s make it even more convoluted. The kid needed a babysitter so went and hired someone who wouldn’t care what he did so he could get away with a lot of mischief. Paid by parents, paid by kid, and parents displeased because she did nothing to keep said kid out of trouble. Probably, she encouraged it.
Damn, i want the same jacket Oo
You know what you gotta do, now.
Grab a dirty butcher knife and pry the jackets from their lifeless corpses and find an unholy method in which to rape their souls?
That’s a bit of a downward slide for Guy. Being only a middle-man and not the perpetrator!
Ah well, there’s always the reliable “I was coerced into it, Your Honour”.
Contractor, not perpetrator or middle-man.
nah what probly happen was she was babysitting for the kidnappers
apparently, I was thinking too dark.
my first thought was that someone hired guy to assassinate a baby, and she smothered it.
“That jacket looks expensive.”
“It’s made out of baby skin.”
Nice Norman Wisdom reference. Very subtle.
Nah, she babysat all right, but on her own behalf (and prob’ly the kid’s), not the parents’ …meaning she had fun corrupting the kidlet’s mindset. Sooo Guy!
